The GQ GMC-800 Nuclear Radiation Detector Geiger Counter is a datalogging radiation meter that detects Beta, Gamma, and X-ray nuclear radiation quickly and precisely, sampling the environment once every second.
The GMC-800 radiation detector device complies with USA NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) standards. Each device is calibrated before shipment, and users can also self-calibrate down the road to maintain longevity.
Specs:
- Radiation Detection: Beta (0.25 – 3.5 MeV), Gamma (0.1 – 1.25 MeV), and X-ray (0.03 – 3.0 MeV) ionizing radiation.
- Measuring Range:
- Dose Rate: 0.00 – 2000 μSv/h
- Exposure Dose Rate: 0.00 – 200 mR/h (or mRem/h)
- CPM (Counts Per Minute): 0 – 999,999
- Safe Background Reference: Under 50 CPM or 0.25 μSv/h (Attention: 51 – 99 CPM; Warning: >100 CPM).
- Display: Large color TFT dot-matrix LCD with customizable light/dark modes and large font options.
- Alarms: 5 types available (Visual LED, screen color bar, audio click, vibration, and voice) with user-set thresholds.
- Memory & Data Storage: 2MB internal onboard memory with data storage capability up to 10 years and a built-in clock.
- Connectivity & Software: Type-C USB port for charging and PC data transfer via Geiger Counter Data Viewer.
- Power Supply: Rechargeable/replaceable 3.6V – 3.7V Li-Ion battery or USB power.
PIM utilizes this meter as part of their battery of control equipment and use it to monitor radiation readings for the person and the immediate vicinity of that person. This is one of the first devices started and last devices stopped during an investigation.
